"On October 16, 2024, two detention centres opened in the port of Shengjin and the village of Gjader, located in northern Albania but managed by Rome. That same day, dozens of cameras filmed the arrival of the first Italian naval ship carrying 16 men from Egypt and Bangladesh, arrested at sea as they tried to reach the EU. Their identities were first verified at the port."
"Within two days, the remaining 12 men would be sent back too, after an Italian court ruled against their detention. The court cited disagreements over the list of "safe" origin countries created by the Italian government, which included nations that do not meet European legal criteria. A year later, Italian judges have repeatedly rejected deportations, slowing plans to place up to 3,000 migrants in the camp."
Two detention centres opened in Shengjin and Gjader on October 16, 2024, managed by Rome to hold people intercepted at sea. The first naval ship brought 16 men from Egypt and Bangladesh; their identities were verified and they were sent to Gjader. Four were identified as vulnerable and returned to Italy; a court ordered the remaining 12 returned after finding the detention unlawful due to disagreements over Italy's list of "safe" origin countries. Italian judges have repeatedly rejected deportations and slowed plans to house up to 3,000 migrants. A report by Italian NGOs found 132 people were sent to the centres and only 32 were repatriated. Official details and confirmations about the programme and camp conditions remain unclear.
